Italian Grand Prix weather: Fans set to soak up the Monza sun

An Italian flag is laid across the Monza track as podium celebrations take place. Italy, September 2021.
Ferrari are set to shine in front of their tifosi, at least in terms of their attire in the sunshine, come the 2022 Italian Grand Prix.
It is always a special occasion when Ferrari returns home to Monza as their tifosi form an expectant home crowd, though this time around more is expected of Ferrari than in recent years.
Only a contender for victories on a handful of occasions over the past few seasons, Ferrari now come into the 2022 Italian GP as a leading outfit alongside Red Bull in terms of outright pace, even if the results have not exactly put that fact on full display.
So, in what has been really a poor season for Ferrari, their title challenges pretty much over now despite building an F1-75 which should have been in the fight right until the end, Ferrari will at least be hoping to give their tifosi something to celebrate on home soil.
But, any further team or driver errors on their own stomping ground, and Ferrari would likely face the most extreme backlash of the season so far.
Very much reluctant to change anything this season, Ferrari will come to Monza sporting a very distinct alteration, which will feature on their facilities, apparel and on the F1-75.
Ferrari are set to splash the yellow to go alongside their iconic red as the team celebrate their 75th anniversary, while Monza has also hit the 100-year mark as a racing venue.
So, Ferrari will already be looking bright, with this yellow set to become that bit more dazzling under sunny skies at Monza.
